Yes it is. Do you see the words "he determines"?
That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized , committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
It's quite sickening. Unless you're planning for Bush to be POTUS for life, . . . .
Nowhere in the resolution did Congress, in it's infinite wisdom, say "Bush".
. . . expect the definition of 'terrorist' to change. With that worthless resolution we'll be at war for years.
Congress again, in it infinite wisdom, defined the parameters of the President's discretion by defining "terrorist".
The President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized , committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
With that worthless resolution we'll be at war for years.
Very good!. I think your beginning to understand what Congress has authorized.
I see exactly what Congress has authorized. A never ending war against enemies of whose exact origin is determined at the whim of the sitting President. Today, Muslims. 2008 when Hillary or someone like her gets into office it could very well be those 'homegrown terrorists'. You know. Conservative Christians and strict Constitutionalists
